Olaf

A Norwegian former circus acrobat, Olaf Bjornson channeled his extraordinary athleticism into becoming an elite combat pilot, joining the international Blackhawk Squadron to fight Axis forces during World War II.

Born in the very first issue of Military Comics back in 1941, Olaf is a genuine Golden Age original — conjured into existence by a powerhouse creative trio of Will Eisner, Bob Powell, and Chuck Cuidera at the dawn of wartime comics. With 83 years of publication history and four key-issue appearances to their name, this is a character whose staying power speaks for itself, most at home across the pages of Blackhawk and Military Comics. Olaf shares their adventures with a memorable cast including Andre, Stanislaus, Chop-Chop, and Bart Hawk, running in the same storied corners of the DC universe where Green Lantern himself has turned up. For collectors with a taste for Golden Age grit and the rich, swashbuckling world of wartime comics, Olaf is exactly the kind of enduring, creator-pedigreed character worth tracking down.
